Shonto Preparatory School is a K–12 school system in Shonto, Arizona. The Shonto Preparatory School district includes a K–8 Bureau of Indian Affairs grant school and Shonto Preparatory Technology High School, a charter high school.

The Indian Affairs education facilities were founded in 1933 out of a local desire to have students attend a school closer to home. It moved to its current location in 1966. The Shonto Boarding School, as it was called, became a BIA/charter school in 1996, and the charter high school was added in 1997. The school serves students from rural areas such as Black Mesa, Inscription House, Kaibeto, Kayenta and Tonalea, with students being bused in from as far as 40 miles (64 km) away.^[1]

The current high school building was built in 2005–2006. It includes 16 classrooms, 2 vocational classrooms, and multi-purpose room known as the Cafetorium.

It has a boarding facility.^[2]
